This is weird and only started happening this morning. In SSMS, I have a narrow Object Explorer open on the left and Object Explorer Details open in the middle / right. I often have multiple servers connected on the left side, some of them with really long names that get "cut off" because I don't have OE open wide enough to show the whole name. That's okay. I like it that way most of the time. But for some reason this morning, the OE window keeps drifting to the left to show the right side of the long names instead of keeping properly justified so I can see all the + signs to open up.
It doesn't matter how often I pull the scroll bar back to the left, it drifts right, shoving the window left until all I see is the end of that one long instance name.
Has anyone had this happen to them before? Any idea how to stop SSMS from doing this?
As an additional note, when I go to open a new DB connection and the popup connection window appears, SSMS suddenly starts rapidly scrolling through my previous connects until I hit the down arrow. Again, this has never happened to me before. I even rebooted my machine and both problems are still happening. Not sure if they're related but they did start at the exact same time (and after a weekend of logging in remotely to my desktop).

Nevermind. I realized it was happening in IE 11 also, so did a little googling that didn't include the words "SQL Server."
Apparently my Bluetooth mouse (even though it had been turned off over the weekend) kinda freaked out and the PC was receiving phantom mouse signals. I had to pull the USB connector out and plug it back in. Now everything is working fine.

Haunted mouse for Halloween. Seems appropriate.

HA! I didn't even think about that.
Now if I could only replicate this on other people's PCs for April 1st... @=) :Whistling:

Easy-peasy way to do it...
Move your USB adapter to their PC, and unplug theirs.
😉
Even more fun if the keyboards connect that way, then you can really drive them nuts...

Now that is absolutely EVIL.
I love it. Now, let's mark this thread private so no one at the office can find out what I'm up to. 😉

I had someone do that to me at a training event. They left my mouse plugged in, but added theirs. Quietly sat behind me minimizing windows for a while before I caught on. It was hilarious.
